Whitlock House

Simon Van Booy

When young Evan Evans and his family face homelessness in the weeks before Christmas, there seems little hope—until a random encounter with an eccentric, mysterious woman in the middle of the night…

Set in 1980s Wales and Mayfair, this powerful novel has a fairy-tale quality that pits the soft heart of a village child against the force of a brilliant woman worn down by her past.

Blending scenes from the author’s own childhood, Whitlock House is the story of how friendship can be a force of both hope and healing.
